Modern Europe: A Captivating Guide to European History, Starting from the End of the Middle Ages to the Present

Europe is home to some of the greatest artists and some of the most brutal wars in world history. Revolutions, reformations, and the Renaissance—it took a lot of movements to turn medieval Europe into what we know today. The world was shaped by Europe’s contributions to art, literature, science, culture, religion, and technology. Not only has Europe been at the forefront of intellectual movements, but it has also been a part of some of the bloodiest wars in history. Despite its period of great rational thought, Europe dabbled rather extensively in the superstitious. Witch hunts spanned across the continent, with men, women, children, and sometimes even redheads being accused of conjuring evil!
